Hey everyone, Zerø here. And today, I made a fictional aircraft.
Quite the rare sight? Yes.
I'm gonna say it first, this thing looks like if an F-16 and an F/A-18 had a baby, ngl.
Also challenge submission (late).
Light Combat Aircraft Challenge by AlivePan.
Introduction:
The Aurum Aerial Industries T/F-44A Cenderawasih is a Light Combat Aircraft that can also be repurposed to a trainer aircraft. It features a single engine, two seat tandem cockpit, and some form of RCS reduction. It's designed to carry the latest equipments of the Indonesian Air Force (IdAF).
Loadout:
- 1x M42A1 20mm rotary cannon (218 Rounds)
A derivative version of the M61A1 rotary cannon, this cannon has been shortened and made into a 4 barreled to fit into said aircraft.
[Current loadout is Clean.]
- Air to Air Loadout
- 4x AIM-120C-7 AMRAAM
- 2x AIM-9P5 Sidewindee
- 275gal Drop Tank
Air to Ground Loadout:
- Alt 1
- 2x AGM-65G Maverick
- 2x AIM-9P5 Sidewinder
- 2x 250gal Drop Tank
- 1x AN/AAQ-28(V) LITENING TGP
- Alt 2
- 2x GBU-32 JDAM
- 2x AIM-9P5 Sidewinder
- 2x 250gal Drop Tank
- 1x AN/AAQ-28(V) LITENING TGP
- Alt 3
- 2x Mk.83 GPB
- 2x M260 Rocket Pods
- 2x AIM-9P5 Sidewinder
- 1x 275gal Drop Tank
Controls & Features
Controls:
Apart from normal controls, you can find more in the aircraft instructions. (And also by reading the cockpit labels)
Features:
- Somewhat realistic (not really) flight model. Will be improved whenever I have the motivation and time.
- Visible wing flex. Though, slightly.
- I made an aircraft with cockpits again! (It was a pain)
- A variable nozzle.
- Buncha custom weapons I made. Speaking of the weapons, the gun, usually having unlimited ammo now, with the power of simply funking the tree, I have successfully simulated limited ammo! Epic.
Gallery:
Man, this took the living heck out of me. Honestly, I could've worked on much more if it's not for the challenge :v
I'm gonna do something else now. Enjoy, and until next time,

F/A-18A/C/E ahh fighter
The flight was flawless but my phone's gonna explode because it's so laggy.
@ZeroWithSlashedO It works, I’ll give you credit when I upload the plane.
@KenzarAircraft
behind the '/'.
@ZeroWithSlashedO What part of the Limiter variable
@KenzarAircraft
I'm not sure which one you're referring to.
@ZeroWithSlashedO What part is that?
@KenzarAircraft
change the divider value to a higher number.
How would I change the limiter variable to be less limiting? I want to use it on another aircraft if I can but it basically doesn't let me turn when going at high speeds.
@KenzarAircraft
sure, just be sure to credit
Can I make a derivative of this? I really want a light fighter but have terrible building skills.
@AircraftExperimental
it's not really designed as a one circle fighter, what do you expect?
it's more of a viper 2.0, a worse version of it rather than a hornet
@ZeroWithSlashedO imagine if this thing will be released on the DCS (Digital Combat Simulator) World, this fighter jet is not capable of doing 1 circle fight but it's not a bad dogfighter, and it has no thrust vectoring. This fighter jet is needed a thrust vectoring in order to force any aircraft like F-22 or Su-57 into 1 circle fight
@Ffddd
ada banyak sih
kalo masalah pertama, mungkin ada yg salah di airbrake yg gw pasang jadinya ngelimit top speed
kalo masalah kedua, pesawat ya gitu mas, pake trim coba kan gak capek jadinya
===TL===
(nobody cares but eh, I'll just do it anyway cause ynot)
there's alot
for the first problem, there may be something wrong with the airbrake I placed which limits the top speed
for the second one, well it's what airplanes do, use trim so you don't get tired
Bang kenapa kecepatannya cuma ampe 400mph terus kenapa pesawatnya selalu nukik kebawah pas terbang jadi kontrolnya harus gw arahin ke atas terus biar gak jatoh
Pls jawab bang pake bahasa Indonesia
appearance review (yes I'm doing this for my own plane):
8/10
honestly was very happi with this design
everything was taken into consideration, although there are some things I'm a little unhappy about
that'll hopefully be fixed in the future :)
@OMGPppo
Something to do with the airbrakes, I guess.
ok this plane just does not go mach 1 even with muchmore powerful engines. how did you limit the speed like that
i cant get this thing to go above mach 1 at sea level. it just accelerates to 710 mph and stops going faster
@ZeroWithSlashedO this comment's late, but ngl this is better than mine, since it has custom weapons and a variable nozzle. I still like my design though, nothing can replace the Dorito :)
@ZeroWithSlashedO ok got it
@14FanFlight yes
@14FanFlight
sure
be sure to credit (just keeping the auto credit is fine)
Could I use this for a fictional air demo team?
@TheTomatoLover The Goose Effect being what killed Goose in his ejection in Top Gun?
Jet works perfectly for near death experiences. Just slap, EJECT and all my worries go away.
It’s the best eject currently, because it drops the Goose Effect. I don’t get killed by speed, or my pilot slamming into a rudder. Instead, my glass is thrown off, and I’m sent at such a speed that reduces the risks of failure. Nice job, Mr.Dorito!
